Demon Unmetered Delayed Again!

(0) - Send news [HERE] Thanks to David for informing us that Demon are
going to
delay their Surftime products again. The launch date is now October 16th.
Here
is part of the e-mail:
"As you will be aware we had hoped to launch
our
Surftime access products on Monday 9th. October.
I regret to inform you that, after extensive
testing, we are not yet satisfied with the reliability of the
service.
Whilst we share and understand the
disappointment
this will cause, we believe it would be wrong to launch a service
that does not provide the quality of service expected by
our customers. We
do however firmly believe that we will be able to launch in the coming
week."
Well hopefully after the extra 7 days of
waiting
Demon will launch a good unmetered service.
This
deal sounds as if it could be better than ADSL. You could potentially
run Dual channel ISDN on a "Premier Connect Plus" account, giving you free
24/7 access with a full 128k bandwidth at a contention
ratio
of 1:1. Beats BT's 512k @ 50:1, even beats 512k @
20:1.
Correct me if I am wrong.

Looking here... http://www.demon.net/products/access/premier-faq.shtml
I'd
need to spend 40 quid a month to get free 24/7
access.
Hmmmmmm.
